Does anyone know where I can find a list of common OCIE with LINs, NSNs, and most importantly PICTURES? I've been able to find lists with literally thousands of CIF-issued items and even prices, but I can't any with pictures.

The reason is, when we do inventories, the nomenclature on our clothing records is so cryptic that we invariably come across items that we have to try to figure out what exactly they are. Little pictures would make the process much easier.

I understand that OCIE varies from unit to unit, sometimes even person to person, but just a list of common stuff would be great.

There used to be a PDF file that had pictures of everything. I remember finding it on AKO after going to the "My Clothing" page after getting my CIF at Schofield a year or two back. Can't find it now, but I know it's out there.

When I was clearing recently I found that if you google the name of an item found on your OCIE record it will usually come up and have a photo. Just go to your AKO, click the my clothing tab under self-service and print your OCIE record. That's the easiest way I found to tackle that one.

Whoever is conducting the inspection should know what they are looking for. The pictures do help those of us that don't get inspected. Clearing my last post I spent a lot of time using Google to try to figure out what I needed to turn-in. Most of the items that I didn't remember what they were ended up being pieces to my rucksack, which was assembled when I got it from RFI.

I have a 3 page OCIE list currently and that includes some DCU stuff I can't get off.

There is some confusion now because they split the entire MOLLE system piece by piece. If I were to ask you to hold up your "Sustainment pouch UCP" could you do it? Of course, being the highspeed NCO I am, I know what it is, but Joe-**** the Ragman doesn't....

The majority of it is education, and google is your friend (espcially doing a 100% property book inspection so you know what a VDR-2 is)!
